Request Expert

Expert is Managing Director of Employer, which he founded in 1998 after 8 years at Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and London. His responsibilities at Deutsche Bank included maintaining an overview of the global market for commercial aircraft and airlines, air cargo, aircraft finance, aircraft leasing, and the credit risk of the banks' current and prospective airline clients. He was the first Structured Finance Aviation Analyst ever hired in Europe, and had several projects where he functioned as a risk advisor to the Management Board of DB.

Expert was also involved in the first Yield Management project at Deutsche Lufthansa and was the on-site representative for PROS at LH's base in Frankfurt. His work there was instrumental in the project's eventual success. Prior experience includes Corporate Planning at one of the first LCC's (Florida Express Airlines, Orlando) and working as an analyst for one of the founders of ISTAT (Jim Matthews).

At IAA, his clients have included some of the market's largest players, including Singapore Airlines, Standard Chartered, Goldman Sachs, Soros Funds, and BBH. Expert witness assignments have been related to diminution of value opinions and valuations of aircraft involved in accidents. Beginning in 2002, Expert has developed an innovative aircraft risk analysis system (fvDynamics) which has been independently verified by a large lessor as "the best forecast in the world" for both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. IAA's client list has grown to include law firms, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, private equity firms, and other risk-averse investors.

Expert attended Rollins College in Winter Park, FL, and the University of Florida in Gainesville. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Mathematics, and a Private Pilot License with ASEL and Glider ratings. Since 1991, he is the record holder for the earliest solo glider flight in Oppenheim, Germany (23rd flight), and has also flown a variety of military and civilian simulators including the B737/747/707, F-16, F-18, E-2 as well as Blackhawk, Apache and OH-58 helicopters.


Created a sophisticated Excel model which analyzes the investment return for an aircraft lessor in balance sheet and cash flow statement terms. This model was done for a large European airline who needed to set up a leasing company to finance 35 deliveries over 5 years.We've used our fvDynamics risk analysis system to forecast the value of a $1bn fleet of financed aircraft for a large insurance company.We've advised a large lessor in terms of potentially attractive investments in used aircraft, and this advice resulted in huge profits over many years.We've written risk analysis reports for investors concerned about new aircraft programs, new engine programs, technology risk in general and future value forecasts for aviation-related assets.
